Steelseries Sensei Acceleration Noticeablility/Existence

[Buggu]

Hey all,

I am considering upgrading my Razer DeathAdder. Razer is crap. As such, 2 mice have caught my eye: the Steelseries Sensei Raw and the Steelseries Rival. I know the Rival is optical and the Sensei is laser, but the Rival's shape is all weird and it is longer than my DA2013. How noticeable is the acceleration, if at all noticeable? I play CS:GO and TF2 at a semi-competitive level and WoT and War Thunder casually. Is the Sensei at all bad? I have heard arguments from both sides, notably a good review from a good CS player saying the sensor isn't too bad unless you use very, very low sensitivity. Is this true?

Thanks!

I have the original Sensei (Non-Raw). It has many settings. If you don't want acceleration I believe you can turn it off completely and just increase DPI to the point you feel comfortable.

Is this true? Do you use accel?

It has honestly been a very long time since I set it up. Pre-Windows 8 I think. I just use the stored profiles that I loaded into the mouse.

I can check back in a few hours when I am at my gaming machine.

In the meantime, I can drop my own feedback on the Sensei Raw (I own one).
Acceleration is there if you want it to be, and it completely depends on Windows' settings.
Just disable it from there and use the SS utility to modify the DPI till you're comfortable, as suggested.
I used accel for a while, and usage on common applications was (obviously) top-notch; games, however, were a completely different subject (again, obviously 😛).

More calm and accurate games actually benefitted from it.
Twitch shooters? disable it. I practically doubled my scores since I did...

It appears I have acceleration turned off as well.

Great! Thanks, all! It turns out that my hands are too big to palm a Sensei . I picked up a Rival, feels 10 times better than a DeathAdder.
